![[Coat of Arms of Svinarp]](../images/f/fic-129).gif)

The arms of Svinarp can be blazoned as "Or, a pig passant Gules". They are used as shield-shaped table flags. The arms are canting, as "svin" is a Swedish word for "pig", while the tinctures are the same as in the arms (and flag) of Scania.

The coat of arms is shown, i.a., at
time marks 00′06-00′08 of season 2, episode 6 online. I drew the coat of arms based on Eugene Ipavec's drawing of the banner.

There seem to be larger shield-shaped banners behind the actors in the videos.
The pig's right front leg is obscured, so the one in the gif is a reconstruction. Eugene Ipavec, 7 & 8 December 20100 |

The mentioned table flag, edged red and with a red fringe along the fly (bottom); its shape is pentagonal.
It can be seen, i.a., at
timemark 28′13 of season 2, episode 6 online.
It reads "Svinarps kommun" (Municipality of Svinarp) under the pig,
in red sans-serif capitals. I drew the tableflag based on Eugene Ipavec's drawing of
the banner. António Martins-Tuválkin, 7 February 2012 |
A complete image of the charge can be found at
the Lönegård & co website.
It appears, they are the people who designed that symbol.
